| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for CDK8-IN-1 typically employ recombinant CDK8/Cyclin C kinase and appropriate peptide substrates. Kinase activity is measured using radioactive ATP (33P-ATP) or fluorescence-based detection methods such as ADP-Glo™ assay. Reactions are performed in kinase buffer at optimized ATP concentrations. The IC50 value of 3 nM is determined by measuring remaining kinase activity across a range of inhibitor concentrations. Assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
